The rdf.pl script is generally great...I built a reader for my favorite news site, The Register (http://theregister.co.uk) with it. The only other thing needed is a list of RSS feeds...and a very good list can be found here:

http://lists.eazel.com/pipermail/nautilus-list/2001-May/002852.html

I can post the Register reader if anyone wants it,but you can add a new URL to news.theme faster than you could download and untar my file, frankly.

I got the same error. For me, the problem was that rdf.pl is not in the path. Changing line 174 in news_panel.py to read

texto = commands.getoutput("./rdf.pl " + url)

worked for me.

I think you haven't read README. You should do that, it explains news_panel usage :)

I have the same problem. I have the rdf.pl in the correct directory, I've even tried copying it to every sub-directory in the theme just to make sure it was where it needed to be. I get this problem with almost every news theme I try, except for Glas.
